Unable to locate an Element By ID in Selenium

Question

I am having trouble locating the login id using selenium. I got this work on a windows computer before, but I am trying to do this at home on my mac and I am not able to find the element by id anymore. I have tried implementing driverwait what was suggested by a lot of people online, but I am still encountering the same errors. Any help will be appreciated. ``` public class mainEntry { /** * @param args */ public static void main(String[] args) { // TODO Auto-generated method stub String webPage; //theDriver driverCMD = new theDriver(); WebDriver driverCMD = new FirefoxDriver(); login start = new login("https://jira.arbonne.com/", driverCMD); start.loginWithUser(); } } ``` The Login page object is below: ``` public class login { String webpage; WebDriver driverCMD; login(String webpage, WebDriver driverCMD) { this.webpage = webpage; this.driverCMD = driverCMD; } public void loginWithUser() { WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driverCMD, 300); // The int here is the maximum time in…

Accepted Answer

Reason 1:

Waiting for the element to be loaded. Use

```
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 4000);
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated((By.id("id"))));
```

Reason 2:

Check to see if `<input id="id" class="p-field span12" type="text">` is in any frame.

If yes use

```
driver.switchTo.frame("frameName"); 
```

before using

```
driver.findElement(By.id("id")).sendKeys("input key");
```
